Monkey Temple (Hanuman), Hampi, India. The first temple we visited in Hampa was the temple of Hanuman, the monkey god. The temple is located on Anjaey hill. The hill is said to be the birthplace of Hanuman. The way to the top goes along the mountain stairs. This is a fairly large climb, and it is very difficult to overcome it. 570 steps if I'm not mistaken. I decided I couldn't handle it and stayed at the foot, knowing that I couldn't do it. But I had a very pleasant time watching the sunset and enjoying the fellowship with the young Indians. The temple is dedicated to the god Rami (and Hanuman). Ramayana - The story of Rama is described inside the temple in Hindi. Those who understand Hindi and are interested in the Ramayana listen to it during the day. The story is told by Pandit, an old man with a white beard. There are usually few people in the temple unless it is a special day for the temple. You can just go to the temple and sit near it, listen and leave when you feel

Hampi Temples So, Hampi- the unusual village. There is an incredible number of cultural monuments and temples located in. On this page I will list a few of them:  Temple Achyutaraya,  Badawi Ling temple and Chandramauleshwara, Raghunath Temple Malyavanta Swami. Temple Malyavanta Raghunatha Swami is 3 km down the road. Its interior walls are decorated with interesting images of fish and sea creatures.

Friday. News of our village. The first news from our village is that guests from Odessa came to us, Sylvia's friend Anya and her children. Our family is getting bigger. We are getting ready for Sylvia's cooking class dedicated to Halloween - a strange holiday, in my opinion, which will take place today, later than I publish this post. Sylvia cooks recipes using pumpkin! So everything will be pumpkin. I will add a photo later. In our village it becomes green, and the grass grows right before our eyes. Our Marseille, not accustomed to the fact that everything turns green every day in winter, is surprised. And in Cyprus, they celebrate the day "OXI" (NO) I tried to figure out what kind of holiday it was and at the beginning, I found information about the day there is no one in America, here this holiday has a completely different meaning! Ohi Day (Greek Επέτειος του "'Οχι" - the anniversary of "No") is a public holiday in Greece, also widely celeb

Humpi. The Hampi monuments epitomize the history of the Vijayanagara Empire (also called the Karnata Empire and the Kingdom of Bisnegar in Portuguese) The empire was founded in the Deccan region of South India. It was established in 1336 under Harihara I and his brother Bukka Raya of the Sangama dynasty. The empire became notorious for the culmination of attempts by southern powers to repel Islamic encroachment in the late 13th century. This continued until 1646, although the power of the invasion declined after a major military defeat in 1565. The empire is named after its capital Vijayanagara, the ruins of which surround today's Hampi, now a World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India. The mixture of all faiths and dialects inspired the architectural innovations of Hindu temple buildings, first in Deccan and then in Dravidian idioms using local granite. Efficient management and vigorous foreign trade brought new technologies such as water management systems for irrigation. Imperial p

Sanapur Lake https://youtu.be/c2a5w63cReI Having settled in the guest house, we were able to take a shower and clean ourselves up, and after a snack, we went for a walk to Sanapur Lake. It was a little difficult for me to go down to the water over huge boulders, but I overcame my fears and, with the support of new friends, went down to the lake. Our men were swimming, and we, the female half of the group, were lying on the rocks, basking in the Indian sunshine. Later we spotted a local diver and enjoyed watching his jumps. After a long journey in a stuffy bus, it was a real relaxation Sanapur Lake Оселившись у гест хаусі, ми змогли прийняти душ і привести себе до ладу, а перекусивши ми вирушили на прогулянку до озера Sanapur Lake. Мені було трохи складно спускатися до води величезними валунами, але я подолала свої побоювання і за підтримки нових друзів все-таки спустилася до озера. Наші чоловіки купалися, а ми, жіноча половина групи лежали на камені, грілися в сонячних променях Індії.
